Hewitt can't confab with the ghosts

Jennifer Love Hewitt may talk to the deceased on her show Ghost Whisperer, but the actress says sometimes people think she actually has the ability to communicate with the dead. Well, even James Van Praagh, the "ghost whisperer" on which the show is based, can't really talk to the dead, but that doesn't stop people from giving him money. Perhaps Hewitt should take a page from Praagh and just fake it anyway. It'd be a good way to earn a little extra scratch. Anyway, she's not the only celebrity to be mistaken for one of their characters. I spent years trying to get Alan Alda to remove shrapnel from my leg before someone told me he's not really a surgeon.
